OCA Art of Photography Course




PROJECT: Focus
Exercise: Focus with set aperture
I initially tried this with a wide-angle lens and a landscape view, but with a combination of an F4 maximum aperture, small sensor and the natural depth of field of the w/a lens, there was little discernable difference between the three images, so on with an F2.5 50 mm macro, and a somewhat unoriginal line of trees.
I prefer the image with focus centered on middle distance because most of it is sharp, which appeals to my predilection of habitat shots relating to bird photography. I guess the close focus shot emphasises the strength of the tree roots, whilst the distant focus poses the question "what's beyond the trees".
